Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup diced onion
8 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups Smithfield Ham slices, diced
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
¾ cup bread crumbs
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes (if desired) and place in large sauce pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, cooking for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender-soft.
  • Meanwhile, in skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and cook onion for 10-12 minutes or until soft and translucent. Drain potatoes thoroughly and place in large bowl with remaining butter, salt and pepper. With mixer or potato masher, blend potatoes and butter until mixed while retaining a slightly chunky texture. Fold in cooked onion, eggs, ham and chives.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease. In ring mold or biscuit cutter, sprinkle bottom interior with bread crumbs and fill mold with potato mixture until top is slightly rounded, topping again with bread crumbs. Remove ring and repeat with remaining potato mixture, spacing cakes about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown and beginning to crisp. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve hot.

1 egg
3/4 c chopped chives
2 Tbsp vegetable oil for frying
salt & pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Use fresh chives for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh chives, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried chives.
  • Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Squeeze the grated potatoes well to remove excess moisture. This will help the potato cakes stay crispy.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the potato cakes. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the potato cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Flip the potato cakes carefully. They are delicate and can easily break.
  • Serve the potato cakes hot with your favorite toppings.
